You cannot stop a 60' missile unless you know where it will strike or if you have the proper defense ready in the area. but they have a 70' missile if smart detonate the nuke in the stratosphere. No way to stop it, and their countries econ wouldn't change but ours would

"All the money in his vault is doing nothing at all, except draining the economy from money that could be invested in new projects etc."
Its not that simple WFS.
If you give your money to the bank, the bank uses your money.
If no-one uses your money not even you then all other money increases in value.

You cannot hide a nuclear blast. For them its also difficult to hide a long range missile. So maybe a show off but I think it was inevitable it became known anyway. So I think it counts for both the show off and the test.

"He can't be too stupid, hes already done what you never will..."
Is that another joke skoe? Cause the reasoning behind this is flawed. I'm not gonna bother explaining since you proly know unless you ask.

@elite:
Although much of your comparison is correct, you cannot compare the second world war to a modern one. And this one is off topic but I disagree on your stance. America couldn't be killed off by japan. Just slowed down some more. They had the econ (as did the Russians). By the time the Japanese would be ready to try to invade the US the US would be strong enough to throw them back in the sea.

@wfs:
I believe the opposite. The only reason it doesn't fall apart right away is brute force and oppression. I bet there's a lot of NK soldiers willing to trade their gun -or their many- in exchange for a passport at first opportunity.

Einstein,
I doubt their army is willing to fight. The leaders might, but the normal soldier would revolt. They do not eat 3k cal potato a day.

Also you forget the large army of south Korea. Their moral is much higher, their weapons are superior to those of NK. Their air capability to name something might be lower in numbers but much better in reality.

All in all I think a precise air strike IF (and only if) the position of the targets are known is the best solution and will be without consequence.

I DO hope this president finally does something right. He lost most of my respect already. Handling this properly would regain a little of it.

I think the NK army does not have a strong moral nor good equipment. They don't have a good army to invade a country. They can only attack via missiles, and those missiles are highly unstable. Also I think we have pretty accurate information about their unclear capability. You can never know what they hide but to hide a nuclear project of this size would be nearly impossible. So I think they are right in their estimations that at best they could have produced atomic bombs all of which are of inferior quality. Even that is dangerous but then you have to consider something else: They DO face nuclear retaliation. In the event of a nuclear threat (when for example NK nukes a japanese city) public opinion will turn in favor of retaliation. I doubt the ones in power are suicidal enough to risk that.

There is a huge dif between china and NK. China has more fear for an uprising as NK. If china gets into troubles with the US, they don't have grain. Then the uprisings will follow automatically. Or that is at least what their leaders fear. If NK people starve, they just starve.

I'm all for an airstrike on the production facilities, but I don't know if they can locate the targets.

"Hows this, Obama sucks, he sucks so good that he had a line of coke as a reward.
Hows this, Obama sucks so hard he swallowed the gall stones."
...seems like we agree at some point there flint. But I fear the worse has yet to come with this pres.  He WILL lend more and spend more on useless things. You will not only pay for it, you will also pay the interest.

"You just can't stand your god being mocked"
I'm an atheist who doesn't support obama, and I'm not being mocked to much myself tongue....yet I think it would be good if flint limited his posts to a few good one instead.

same here, limit your threads to a few good one instead of a huge amount of half made threads which are often too long or contain a link, or have the same subject. If WFS wouldn't have done this I would have asked.

You cannot take ALL the space on front page. No good forummod would have allowed that.

Though I'm not very fund of obama, you cannot put this one on his record or bush. NK is a dictatorship which wants to secure its existence with nuclear weapons. As any dictatorship its highly unfunctional and disastrous for progress and local inhabitants. Lets hope they never succeed.
